I completely agree with you here. At least there was an investigation! Its good to see that the took initiative to find out what was going on. However, they completely missed the boat on taking the next steps.

Its true. There has been way to much brought up with this. The media is clearly spending way to much time on this story. However, I truly believe that if the media didn't uncover this story, we would still be ignoring the problem, and not any closer to a solution.

We do need to focus on the good in Iraq, and pay attention to the people we are helping in the end.

Plus, I think it's weird that the pictures come out now it being an election year and all.




It's not like these pictures were taken 10 years ago and just resurfaced.

They were taken (by all accounts) this year. When do you expect them to come up? Next Year?




I will pose a question a little different, and just to open up a huge can of worms... Do you think that this witch hunt would be as big a deal in the news if there was a democrat in office? -Nick

Definitely.

But it would have been handled better.

I'm kidding. I'm sure this was a kick in the stomach to most every politician -- except Rumsfeld.
